How to Be an Observer During Practice

❔After online meditations with Master, many of you share that “it’s difficult to imagine yourself as the observer” or “it’s unclear how to be an observer.”

Often, the mistake is to try to visualise oneself from the outside, or to search for an “object” to observe. At the retreat satsang, Master Imram gave a deeper explanation of this process:
“We observe those who speak, those who hear, those who meditate. We are watching the watcher.”

It is important not to focus on external form or search for answers within the thinking mind. The state of the witness is not an image of “yourself from the outside,” but the recognition of formless presence.

Be the observer.

Shambhavi Mudra: “Divine Gates” and the Science of Concentration

Within the Kriya tradition, Shambhavi Mudra holds a special place — it’s a technique that Master Imram refers to as the “divine gates.” It is not merely a position of the eyes but a precise method for shifting awareness from the outer world to the inner source.

The practice of Shambhavi leads to the realisation of non-duality — a state in which individual consciousness merges with Cosmic Consciousness.

From a neurophysiological perspective, this mudra works through the direct connection between the optic nerves and the medulla oblongata.

·        Stimulation of the spiritual centre: consciously maintaining an upward gaze “elongates” the optic nerves and awakens the medulla oblongata.
·        Rewiring patterns: during practice, new neural pathways are formed within the medulla oblongata, making it possible to transform deeply ingrained habits.
·        Activation of the right brain: Shambhavi Mudra encourages greater engagement of the right brain, associated with intuitive perception and connection with the divine aspect.
·        Energy magnetism: the technique helps accumulate energy, returning 90% of what is normally dissipated through the visual system back into the “Divine Cave.”

Master Imram emphasises that only human beings can consciously raise their gaze to the spiritual centre — animals do not possess this mechanism at either the physiological or chakra level. For this reason, Shambhavi Mudra is regarded as an important tool for the accelerated evolution of consciousness.

FACTS About Imram You May Not Know

✅ Early Years: Imram recalls experiences from a very early age. At around the age of three, he survived a coma caused by a reaction to penicillin, during which he consciously left his body. The experience left him with a lasting awareness that a person is far more than a physical body.

✅ Martial Arts Master: From his youth until his initiation into Kriya, Imram studied the internal styles of Chinese wushu — taijiquan, baguazhang and xingyiquan — viewing them as both a philosophy of life and an “alchemy of the body in motion.” During his military service, he continued practising yoga and wushu, even in temperatures as low as –40°C.

✅ Practice: Imram continues to strengthen and develop his body every day through Kriya pranayamas and energisation practices. He places great importance on breathing techniques as a means of self-regulation and preserving life force.

✅ Minimal Need for Sleep and Food: Master practises 24/7, maintaining a state of awareness and dedicating every action to the Highest and to self-development. His sleep is reduced to the necessary minimum, and his diet consists of a single vegetarian meal a day. This way of life has emerged through many years of discipline and dedicated practice.

✅ Where Science Meets Yoga: Imram holds qualifications in Eastern medicine and psychology. He worked as a doctor’s assistant and taught bioenergetics and reflexology at the Faculty of Eastern Medicine of the Dagestan Medical Academy, explaining multidimensional processes through anatomy and physiology.

✅ Music as a Tool for Transformation: Imram is a professional musician and composer. His music is more than an art form; it is also a means of inducing emotional and meditative states. He incorporates specific frequencies and digital codes into his compositions to convey deeper meaning.

✅ Complete Non-Violence (Ahimsa): Imram has completely eliminated animal products from his diet and follows the principles of non-violence and respect for all living beings.

✅ The Path of Equality: Imram does not present himself as a Master. He often says that he is simply someone who “did not live like many others” — practising while others rested. Today, he shares the techniques of Kriya Yoga, viewing it as a universal science that helps people evolve more rapidly.

Imram’s life story is not a collection of remarkable facts but evidence of what becomes possible when a person chooses the path of conscious self-development. Kriya is not a theory — it is a living experience that Imram shares in every video.

Prayer and Meditation — What Sets Them Apart, and What Connects Them?

During the Week of Morning Practices, participants asked about the relationship between prayer and meditation. Master Imram offers a profound explanation of these two states.

According to the sacred Science of Kriya, they are two aspects of a single process of attunement to the Primary Source. The difference comes down to where attention is focused and how active the inner processes are.

• Prayer is an active state involving the mind, emotions, and body. It is an earnest, heartfelt appeal in which a person channels their impulse towards a Higher Power through feeling and will.
• Meditation (Kriya’s scientific concentration) is a state beyond the mind, the senses and the body’s habitual responses. In this state, personal effort falls away and silence arises — a silence in which the presence of the Creator is revealed.

Master explains that prayer is the foundation. As prayer deepens, it naturally unfolds into meditation. At this point, the distance between the personality and the Higher Self becomes minimal, and the mental and emotional planes come into complete harmony.

From a scientific perspective, this process may be understood as the transmission of high-frequency information and energy, experienced by the brain as profound inner understanding and complete certainty.

But often, the difficulty is not in the circumstances themselves, but in how we understand our own energy.

In this video, Imram explores why some relationships flow naturally while others break down, how fear blocks new connections, and what it takes for your inner resources to begin working for you rather than against you.

Master Imram

⬆️ In this interview fragment, Imram and Marshall Govindan (world‑renowned author of books on Kriya yoga, including “Babaji and the 18 Siddha Kriya Yoga Tradition”) discuss why reading books is only the first step, and why the live transmission of Knowledge is essential for deep transformation.

“Books provide you a road map. They give you guidance about the obstacles and the objectives of practicing. But to begin the journey, you need a “vehicle” – energy and techniques that can only be transmitted through personal initiation.”

WEEK OF MORNING PRACTICES: REFLECTIONS

Our channel’s seven-day cycle of Morning Practices has now drawn to a close. For many of you, this has been an important step in building consistency and discipline — essential qualities for self-development.

Highlights from the Past Week

• Consistency: following the practice routines each day.
• Learning: exploring Kriya terminology and techniques.
• Resonance: creating a shared field that strengthens each individual’s experience.
• Changes: beginning to reshape habits by consciously directing attention.

The most valuable result is your presence in the practice and your willingness to explore within. As Master Imram often says: “The great lies within the small.” It’s the small, daily actions that build a stable state of awareness.

All the meditations will remain available on this channel. You can continue with shorter meditations on your own, and join the longer group sessions every Saturday. We’ll certainly be running more weeks of joint practice in the future.

🔸We invite you to reflect on the week and note the changes you’ve experienced. This will help you organise your experience and see your progress more clearly. Please share:

· What changes have you noticed in your state over these seven days?
· Have you noticed any shifts in the quality of your concentration?
· Were you able to integrate the morning practice into your daily routine — and how did it affect your day?

Your responses will help us shape future programmes to make them even more effective for your practice.

Trust your own experience and inner strength.

Shifting from Activity to Deep Relaxation

To wake earlier and practise effectively, your brain and nervous system need proper rest at night.

🔸Tips for Evening Relaxation

• Create a harmonious space. Keep things quiet to steady your emotional background – stick to gentle conversation, avoiding news or work talk.
• Light matters. Dim the lights 1–2 hours before bed – use warm lighting. Switch your phone to night mode. Sleep in full darkness. Use an eye mask if needed. Darkness supports natural melatonin production and deeper rest, regardless of outside light.
• Slow the mind. Reading or quiet creative activities in the evening help the brain switch into a slower, sleep-ready state.
• Relax the body. A quiet walk or a warm bath helps release muscle tension and prepares the nervous system for a restful night.
• Evening practice. Kriya Nidra is especially effective before sleep. A special technique recommended by Master Imram supports deep relaxation and releases tension in body and mind. It helps you disengage from external distractions and immerses your nervous system in a state of deep recovery.

🔸Consistency in these actions helps overwrite the habit of tension, restoring the body’s natural ability for self-recovery.
